Expertly sited on 11+ acres to capture year-round light and passive solar gain, the property was built in 2001 of adobe, concrete, glass and steel, and received the American Institute of Architecture Energy & Sustainability Award in 2006. Interior spaces are flexible, the west end of the building is designed as a studio, and the central living area of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. has 20 ft. ceilings, all heated w. 2 zone radiant and wood stoves. One of the great allures of this property is the effortless inside/outside living, enhancing the exceptional morning sunrises and evening sunsets.

This offering includes a separately metered studio guest house with full bath privately located away from the main residence. The AirB&B/short-term rental potential is excellent.
